How to push a new view onto a NavigationStack
Updated for Xcode 14.2
SwiftUI lets us push any view onto a NavigationStack by using NavigationLink. In its simplest form you can provide this with a string for its title and a destination view as a trailing closure, and NavigationStack will care of pushing the new view on the stack for us along with animation.
For example, this creates a simple DetailView struct, then presents it from a NavigationStack:
struct DetailView: View {
var body: some View {
Text("This is the detail view")
}
}
struct ContentView: View {
var body: some View {
NavigationStack {
VStack {
NavigationLink("Show Detail View") {
DetailView()
}
}
.navigationTitle("Navigation")
}
}
}

If you need more advanced control over the label, pass it as a secondary trailing closure. For example, this uses a Label view rather than a simple string:
struct DetailView: View {
var body: some View {
Text("This is the detail view")
}
}
struct ContentView: View {
var body: some View {
NavigationStack {
VStack {
NavigationLink {
DetailView()
} label: {
Label("Show Detail View", systemImage: "globe")
}
}
.navigationTitle("Navigation")
}
}

SwiftUI will automatically style your links as buttons so users know they are interactive. You can disable this behavior by applying .buttonStyle(.plain) to NavigationLink.
